I think people cut an average of twenty times a day. It's just gas.

alot of people cut but it is not something to consider normal! deffinatly not!, i used to cut i havent for 6 months and you know something, i still have the scars.

cutting is an addiction i understand that but it's something you really do need to get out of ok? if you ever need to talk my email is paulcb09@hotmail.co.uk

you need to stop ok as it is not healthy, everytime you cut you leave a scar, that scar is a reminder of why you cut in the first place and so you cut again, it is a vicious cirlcle

Heres an easy and failsafe way to stop this once and for aal. Next time you cut make it your fucking throat idiot

Cutting is a serious addiction.

It's really hard to get over, even with therapy. In my own case, therapy made it worse...You need someone who's experianced it to talk to, find a friend or family memeber who's done it maybe.

ohhh insane girl ohohohoh!

Cutting is not normal but it is an increasing problem with young people. I saw an astounding rise of cutting of students on college campuses so you are not alone. You should not blame yourself either for doing it and you need outside help to control it. Simply promising you will not do it is not the solution. With outside help it can be contained. PLEASE speak to your mother first and if she is too busy to help, then go to a counselor in your school. School counselors are familiar with cutting and can refer to someone who can help you with cutting. Don't be shy or ashamed to ask for help, we all need to seek assistance with things in life.

fuck no! emo freak!

um..i watched a movie on life time about this and that girl turned into a whore and gashed her wristed to deep one night and DIED...do you want to die? STOP CUTTING!

i cut all the time, it helps relive the pain of life

i know how you feel im the same way it feels really good doean't it but see with me i love the scars i think there really cool like i tried to stop but know i've been clean for about a i month and shit thats a long time and at school on tuesday i did it and it felt so good and so now i started back again after a month i thought i could do it but i guess i was wrong but i cant help it !!!!!!!!

Self injury is a call for attention. If she won't take you to a therapist, find one through school. It'll be embarassing, but you'll get the help you want.

pain of life!!

some of you have no idea what life is yet you continue to do stupid things like cut yourself and dribble on and on about pointless crap when you should be enjoying your younger years.

I never dreamed of cutting....too afraid, until one night less than a year ago. My arms from my elbow to my wrist are covered in long white scars from scissors.

FACT:
Cutting releases endorphins in the brain that send relaxation through the body.

Not saying that's 'good' or 'bad',but its a fact. That is one reason why I do it. I know its bad, and I'm on my 2nd month, cut free. It feels great. I really hope it lasts.
Good luck sweatheart.

might as well go for broke, eh?

i would have to say cutting is definitely not normal.

lol yerr thats a good idea...start smoking, its healthier

Interesting comments about cutting. Some are too brainwashed by society's norm to know expressing painful emotions is hard, and sometimes putting on your cheerleader outfit and crying to Simple Plan songs doesn't cut it.

I have been cutting since the age of 11, I believe it's a perfectly natural way of getting out anger. It IS normal.

Not all cutters want to die, this is a fact, and depending on where you cut, chances are you WON'T die from a few little scratches on the arm.

It can make you feel like a freak, it can scare people, it can confuse people, but cutting IS normal. My email is Cake.and.Sodomy@hotmail.com, if you need any advice, go fuck yourself.

i think it's normal only if you have a VERY GOOD REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lifes hard to deal with this is youre coping mechanism try and find something positive that can replace the cutting that gives you the relief from self loathing like exersize

cutting is something thats bad for u a lot of ppl bescaue they have a unhealthy coping mechanism. This means that the people who do it have not developed healthy ways of dealing with strong emotions, intense pressure, or upsetting relationship problems. There are lots of good, healthy ways to cope with difficulties, such as talking problems over with parents, other adults, or friends; putting problems in perspective and getting plenty of exercise. But people who cut haven't developed these skills. When emotions don't get expressed in a healthy way tension can build up sometimes to a point where it seems almost unbearable. Cutting may be an attempt to relieve that extreme tension. It's a confused way of feeling in control. That's one of the reasons why younger teens are more likely to cut.



ANY QUESTIONS email me at cnearulz@hotmail.com

fuck i forgot to say i cutted since i was 10 when my mom and dad devoirced kow i live wit mom i koe how it feels to go through wut ur r

Okay.when you cut yourself your hurting yourself and making scars..also your addicted and if you become addicted to somethin and are un able to stop it's not a good thin..i understand why you would cause yourself pain..but why not try kick boxing or somthing to get our your emotions..cutting yourself is hurting your body!

I've never cut, and don't see why somone would do so without intent of suicide

^ Escape from emptiness, depression, and feelings of unreality,preventing suicide,whatever. and i just said that though since you^ said you dont see why.
but, no one get any ideas. for real.

try masturbating instead- even roughly- same endorphins- also see my reply to one similar cutting question. it's just getting late and i don't have much time to work on a reply right now...

god damn u ppl are emos...get a fucking life instead of slowly killing urself god damn

i'm not an EMO but i cut from time to time, i like i get really bad migranes due to some sinus problems, and cutting just releives some of the pian sometimes, so its ok, depending on the circumstances!!!

of COURSE cutting in normal

Get the f*ck out of here, cutting is NOT normal, it is a sign of a weak-minded individual, who cant handle any pressure wat so ever, so they do STUPID things like cut, and swallow pills, or hang themselves because they're too afraid to trust in anyone to get help. Since the 11th grade, I have had 4 friends that have committed suicide by either cutting, or hanging themselves, or blowing their brains all over their livingroom wall and floor, so dont talk to me about using cutting or any other method of suicide as an escape, thats F*CKING BULLSHIT. SUICIDE IS FOR THE WEAK. FACE UR FEARS.

Suicide and cutting can be totally seperate.
And cutting IS a way to handle pressure. Its an unhealthy way, but it does not make them weak.

They're all F*cking weak if it leads to self inflicted pain wich may or may not cause them to die. They're weak, and ur a clone. Have a mind of ur own.

Lol, you're the one telling everyone not to cut Mofo, or at least looking down upon them in a rather extreme, judgemental manner. :D Then you tell them to have their own mind. Which is it? If the emos want to cut, why should you, or I, or anyone else stop them?

And sorry, I'm not calling everyone who cuts "emo", it just sounded good. :D

Hmmm... I am a clone? How so?
And they are weak because they deliberately take a sharp object and tear their own flesh? It may be dumb but I would not really call it weak. How does it make you weak to deal with pain by causing a tangible pain?
You make these claims, and don't back them up. Who is a clone now?

a girl who cuts herself... well, find a good guy... theres some of us out there... love can heal, it might stop your cutting (as long as hes a good person, and not some asshole)

Praise Stargirl !!!!

i have A LOT of emo friends and i think when mofo says he doesnt want the emos to cut themselves hes not being judjemental hes trying to save the emos from extinction(kidding,they're not animals)n-e way if your best friend was emo and cut themselves,would you promote it?or would you try and save your friend from the downward spiral of depression?

Your mom was trying to help you, listen to her.
And if you honestly can't control it, then there's something seriously wrong with you. Everyone can control their actions, unless you're retarded or something.
